About Samira

Samira is a Swiss-born, Mexico- and Colombia-raised creative with a Bachelor of Performing Arts from the Australian Institute of Music (AIM). A versatile practitioner, Samira has had experience as a performer, assistant director, dramaturg, designer and stage manager.
Samira has had a passion for the performing arts from a young age, which has grown with her experience of diverse cultures. Having lived in Israel, Colombia, Mexico, Switzerland, Brazil, and Australia, she is a polyglot versed in five languages. Samira’s fascination for culture and storytelling have motivated her to pursue dramatic arts for a living.
Her writing credits include Blackbox (2018) for The Circle Theatre Co. She also worked as an assistant director for Animal Farm and dramaturg for Let’s Pretend This Is Real (AIM – Dramatic Arts). Samira is passionate about theatre that explores immigrant issues, identity, and feminist existentialism.
